Ideal Weight Calculator
Determine your ideal body weight using multiple time-tested formulas based on height and gender.
What is Ideal Weight?
Ideal Body Weight (IBW) was developed for medication dosing. Today it is also used as a general guide for healthy weight targets.
How is it calculated?
All four formulas use a base weight at 5 feet plus a per-inch increment that varies by gender. Pick the one closest to your build or use the average.
